<p>The time has finally come as we have updated our senior class rankings in Virginia! The new rankings feature close to 40 new players, ranking 172 players in the state. Here's a look at part one of the new faces in the updated rankings!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#5) [player_tooltip player_id='2021821' first='Courtland' last='Muldrew'] | 6'3” PG | Oak Hill</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Muldrew comes to an already loaded Oak Hill team from Arkansas after a big summer on the EYBL Circuit, and he'll be a big boost for them in the backcourt with his scoring ability. He's very adept at creating space and getting his shot off with the ball in his hands, he can change speeds and get downhill where he's an athletic finisher and he can make plays for others as well. </p>

<p><strong>#6) [player_tooltip player_id='2571713' first='Panagiotis' last='Pagonis'] | 6'9” SF | Massanutten</strong></p>

<!-- /wp:image -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Pagonis comes to Massanutten's post grad team from Greece where he was one of their top players on the FIBA U18 team this summer, and he has a lot of those qualities scouts love in a European player. At 6'9” he's highly skilled as he can handle the ball and make plays for others, he can knock down shots from deep and in the midrange, he's a crafty finisher around the rim and he's a versatile defender who can guard almost every position.</p>

<p><strong>#8) [player_tooltip player_id='1273551' first='Deondrea' last='Lindsey'] | 6'7” PF | Oak Hill</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:image {"id":1768894,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} -->
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/03/DeondreaLindsey2-crop-581x382-1674845160.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/03/DeondreaLindsey2-crop-581x382-1674845160.png?w=580" alt="" class="wp-image-1768894" /></a></figure>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lindsey is a native of Knoxville who will be a big part of Oak Hill's front court as the consensus top 150 player brings a lot of versatility to this group. While he may be a little undersized it works in his advantage as he's a mismatch with his mobility and ability to put it on the deck, he's an athletic finisher in transition and when he gets downhill and he has great length to contest shots and rebound as well.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#18) [player_tooltip player_id='1223825' first='Francis' last='Chukwudebelu'] | 6'10” C | Oak Hill</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Chukwudebelu is another nationally ranked player who is highly intriguing as a long term prospect who has a lot of potential moving forward. At 6'10” he has long arms and a college ready frame that will continue to fill out, he has great mobility and runs the floor hard, he's an athletic finisher and rim protector and he has good touch in the midrange as well.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#20) [player_tooltip player_id='2571724' first='Johnathan' last='Robinson'] | 6'5” SG | Blue Ridge</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Robinson is the younger brother of former BC standout and pro Jerome Robinson, and he comes to Blue Ridge where he'll join an already super talented group where he'll provide an impact as a big time scorer. At 6'5” he has prototypical size on the perimeter and great length to go with it, he can score the ball from all three levels both on and off the ball and he can work in isolation where he can break down defenders and score it at will.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#24) [player_tooltip player_id='2571731' first='Jaylen' last='Wynn'] | 6'4” SF | Peninsula Catholic</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- /wp:image -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Wynn exploded on the scene this summer with Team Loaded 757 as one of the top prospects on the HGSL Circuit and has a lot of interest from D1 schools, and he'll be one of the top players in the 757 this year most likely. The 6'4” wing has a great frame that allows him to get downhill and play through contact, he knifes through the defense at will and is a good finisher around the rim and he can make shots from deep and the midrange area as well.</p>

<p><strong>#33) [player_tooltip player_id='1598933' first='Cortlin' last='Siska'] | 6'4” SG | Bethel Academy</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:image {"id":2548564,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} -->
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageCd25Jw.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageCd25Jw.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2548564" /></a></figure>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Siska comes back to VA after spending last season in New Jersey, and the way he's improved over the past few years he's vaulted himself into the conversation of a D1 prospect. The 6'4” wing has long arms and is a big time athlete when he gets downhill, he can score the ball in a number of ways in isolation situations, he shoots it well when he moves off the ball and he can make plays defensively as well.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#40) [player_tooltip player_id='2571740' first='TJ' last='Jackson'] | 6'1” PG | Oak Hill Red</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jackson is part of a talented Oak Hill Red backcourt that has turned the program into a very competitive group, and he's their floor general who runs the show for them. The 6'1” native of NC can get hot quickly and light it up from all three levels, he is very good at drawing contact and getting to the line, he makes others on his team better with his playmaking ability and he sets the tone on both ends of the floor for them.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#41) [player_tooltip player_id='1956074' first='Jameer' last='Reynolds'] | 6'7” SF | Dan River</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:image {"id":2571962,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} -->

<p>Reynolds had reclassified to the 2026 class at Carlisle before transferring back to his public school Dan River, and he's been one of the most improved players I've seen in the state and is very intriguing as a long term prospect. He's grown to about 6'7” and has very long arms, he's a big time athlete who can get downhill and play above the rim, he has improved a lot in his outside shooting and he has huge upside as a defender moving forward.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#48) Matthew McLaurin | 6'4” SF | Virginia Academy</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>McLaurin transfers to Virginia Academy after spending last year in the NEPSAC and he's part of a talented group at VAA and will likely be the go-to guy for them this season. The 6'4” wing has long arms and is a good athlete who thrives in transition, he's a talented shot maker both off the catch and off the bounce, he has good range from deep and he can create shots for himself and others in isolation situations.</p>
